Quotations about hate:

a. “Hate is a bottomless cup, I will pour and pour,” Euripedes, Medea b. “In time we hate that which we often fear,” William Shakespeare, Antony and Cleopatra c. “[E]njoying and hating the right thing seem the most important factors in virtue of character,” Aristotle, Nichomaceacan Ethics d. “To die hating them, that was freedom,” George Orwell, 1984 e. “Allow enemies their space to hate; they will destroy themselves in the process,” Lisa Du f. “Let’s not hate the existence of hatred,” Toba Beta, Betelgeuse Incident g. “Hate is the father of all evil,” David Gemmel, Fall of Kings h. “Hate is a faith,” Jean-Paul Sartre, Antisemite and Jew i. “Hatred is the coward’s revenge for being intimidated,” George Bernard Shaw. j. “You can safely assume you’ve created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do,” Ann Lamott k. “Unanimous hatred is the greatest medicine for a human community,” Aeschlus, Eumenides l. “Anger is always concerned with individuals, ... whereas hatred is directed also against classes: we all hate any thief and any informer. Moreover, anger can be cured by time; but hatred cannot. The one aims at giving pain to its object, the other at doing him harm; the angry man wants his victim to feel; the hater does not mind whether they feel or not.” Aristotle

Hate Studies is defined as “Inquiries into the human capacity to define, and then dehumanize or demonize, an ‘other,’ and the processes which inform or give expression to, or can curtail, control, or combat, that capacity.”
